Granted
The Board granted a 20 percent rating for the Veteran's service-connected hypertension based on evidence of diastolic pressure predominantly 110 or more, or systolic pressure predominantly 200 or more.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed several blood pressure readings with diastolic pressure 110 or more, as well as systolic pressure 200 or more, warranting a higher rating during the review period.
